Best Crab Cakes With Chardonnay Cream Sauce Recipes

CRAB CAKES WITH CHARDONNAY CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Boil wine and leeks (or green onions) in heavy, medium saucepan until mixture is reduced to 1/2 cup (about 10 minutes). Reduce heat and add cream; simmer until liquid is reduced to sauce consistency (about 10 minutes). Season to taste with salt & pepper. Set aside and keep warm.
• In large bowl, mix crabmeat, 1/2 cup crushed potato chips, bread crumbs and next 7 ingredients until well blended. Using 1/4 cupful of crabmeat for each cake, form mixture into 16 (2-1/2 inch diameter) cakes. Place remaining potato chips in shallow dish. Press each cake into chips, turning to coat evenly.
• Heat 2 tablespoons oil in large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, add crab cakes to skillet and cook until golden brown and heated through, adding more oil as necessary, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer crab cakes to paper towel lined plate to drain.
• How to plate: Place 2 crab cakes on each plate; spoon sauce around crab cakes and then serve immediately.
• NOTE: You can prepare the crab mixture and form the crab cakes, and make the sauce, 6 hours ahead. Cover sauce and crab cakes separately and refrigerate. Re-warm sauce and fry crab cakes just before serving.

CRAB CAKES WITH SPICY CREAM

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Spray a baking sheet with canola oil cooking spray.
• Heat the oil in a nonstick skillet over a medium-high heat. Add the scallion, green pepper, and jalapeno and cook until the peppers soften slightly, about 3 minutes. Add the ginger and garlic and cook for one minute more. Set aside to cool slightly.
• In a large mixing bowl combine the pepper-scallion mixture with the crab, lime zest, lime juice, cilantro, egg, 1/2 cup of the Panko, 1 tablespoon of the mayonnaise, and the salt.
• Put the remaining 1/2 cup Panko on a plate. Form the crab mixture into 8 crab cakes and gently roll each in the Panko and place on the prepared baking sheet. Spray the tops of the crab cakes with the canola oil cooking spray to coat lightly.
• Bake the crab cakes until they are golden brown on the bottom, about 10 minutes. Gently turn them over and cook for 10 minutes on the other side. In the meantime, in a small bowl stir together the yogurt with the remaining 2 tablespoons mayonnaise and the chili-garlic sauce.
• To serve, top each crab cake with about 1/2 teaspoon of the spicy cream and one cilantro leaf.

• Put eggs, lemon juice, mayonnaise, bell pepper, onion, cilantro, salt, cayenne pepper, and black pepper in a mixing bowl and mix well. Gently fold in crabmeat and 1/2 of the bread crumbs.
• Form crabmeat mixture into 8 patties. Coat both sides in remaining bread crumbs. Place patties on waxed paper and freeze for 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Prepare the sauce: Mix sour cream, mayonnaise, bell pepper, garlic, lemon juice, cilantro, and cayenne pepper together in a bowl. Season with salt and black pepper.
• Heat 1/2 of the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Carefully add patties to hot oil in batches. Fry until golden, about 30 seconds on each side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Repeat with remaining patties, adding remaining oil as needed.
• Transfer patties to a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a patty should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
